[Stylist] Food for Thought

[jackieleepoet at cox.net]

Vejas,
I recently had a short story critiqued by my writer's group, and my editor
re-typed it using the comments and cutting some words. I asked her if I
could submit it with the revisions. She said it was still my story, and an
editor's job is the do just what she did.
If anyone disagrees with this, I would like to know also.
Jackie

Hi, 
I hope you are all doing well and staying safe. 
I have recently thought of something and was wondering what others think. I
have known since very early on that plagarism is wrong. I was wondering,
though, if someone is critiquing your work and suggests an edit for a
sentence and says, "Maybe try this sentence instead." Is it OK to use the
sentence they suggested, because technically that sentence is using the
critiquer's words, not your own? 
I hope this makes sense! 
Thanks, 
Vejas
